Vitamin D and Iron
Hi I posted yesterday about my private thyroid results and got some really great advice. Further to that, I was wondering if anyone could help me with iron and vitamin levels. On the Thriva test, it said: Vit D: 68.4 nmol/L (range 50 - 250) Ferritin: 69.1 ug/L (range 30-150) B12: 54.8 pmol/L (range

B12 deficiency and b12 deficiency anemia
So we went to GP this evening, the antibody tests are back as negative. The GP was sat there with my complaint letter in front of her and was abit funny with us to be honest. I quoted the NICE guidelines and asked why my partner was not being treated for neurological symtoms. She informed me these are

Long time no see, a brief update from me and a daughter with a diagnosis…
Hello all! I don’t know if anyone will remember me as it’s been a few years since I last posted. I’ll try to keep my update brief (and positive) as it’s not regarding myself that I’m drawn back to this forum, although I may well start posting more about myself once I’m back into the swing of it! I expect

Further info on blood panel
Hello! I posted a couple of weeks back with some questions about low B12 investigations and was about to have a very full and detailed blood panel. I've got some further info from my blood tests. I don't have a copy yet, they're on the way, so I'll have to be vague about actual numbers for some of them

Another! GP appt. Tips for making the best of it please?
I posted on Monday about my experience of not having my low but still apparently "normal" vit B12 etc levels not taken seriously and ignoring the fact I have a lot of symptoms of pernicious anemia (I've also posted on the PAS forum, but there are far fewer people on there). https://healthunlocked.com

Ferrous sulphate
Can anyone help please with the best time of day to take these tablets? Or any experience with having taken them? It's all well and good to say take on an empty stomach, but they seem to cause reflux and when one is already taking PPI 's for acid reflux this is no easy task. Also advised by GP

Help with supplements please
On the advice of greygoose who has said that my B12 is dangerously low despite being in the "normal" range, I'm posting to ask how I should be supplementing and what brands of supplements people recommend. This is on the basis that whilst my energy levels are slightly improved on the levo, my neurological

Update.
I have received a letter from my haematologist. It states that I have mild anemia which I knew it also says that there is significant Haemolysis and increase in reticulocyte count up to 293.2. Bilirubin raised at 30. Inflammatory markers near normal with a crp of5.7. All very confusing, having trouble

Neurological Signals
Now that I self treat in a way that I no longer experience symptoms associated with B12 deficiency and the resulting known damage I am finding it helpful to think in terms of neurological signals. Temperature regulation becomes I now get signals that I am cold or hot and do not expose my body to situations

1 or 2 time a day vit b12 1000 microgram???
Hello dear friends I read here some post that someone is injecting one or two time a day of vitamin b12 ampules (1000 microgram or 1 mg). Is it safe to inject such a massive b12 one or two time a day for life??? I thought that the protocol for b12 deficiency treatment is loading doses of 6 ampules during

buprenorphine -what next
I’ve been on buprenorphine for about 2 months now. I take 600 micrograms. I have also been slowly reducing from pregabalin by 25 mg every two weeks and am now on 100mg. I had nausea when I started buprenorphine but that stopped after a couple of weeks only to return. I have totally lost my appetite
